You know I've moved out a bit now, im not one to be in town much anyway anymore, but no doubt there is big changes around the city.... my kids will live in a very different city than I did... What struck me is this is the first town built in Devon since the middle ages, and by 2030 it will be bigger than Tiverton and Brixham... Devon towns that have been around since the middle ages!! Thats progress!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
